Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[PcS000]

Yeah I went a bit nuts when I first ordered, then hesitated when it converted to highland and then didn’t learn my lesson and kept going… I think everything has arrived and I’ll just cart stuff until the car gets here.
I'm meant to be going over to country Victoria around Xmas so might be one last hurrah for the ice car. Might be easier with petrol vs charging etc but would be nicer to do in the Tesla.

Oh I know the feeling, I was buying everything I could - 70% of it was good the other 30% was utter trash.

I hope the trip goes well and hopefully in a New Model 3!

Not sure if the vent is the same in the Model Y, but my partner dropped her lipstick in our Model Y and we thought nothing of it, thinking we would pick it up after the drive. But of course we forgot about it, and a day later there was a mysterious rattling sound from seemingly somewhere behind the drivers seat. Turns out the lipstick had found its way into the vent, and the little left hand bend deep down meant we couldn’t for the life of us get it back out. Had to book it in to Tesla, quote of $250, but which I negotiated down to $80 as the fellow said he had another customer the week before in a Model 3 with the same issue and couldn’t charge us the full amount…

so if the vent under the seat is the same, I’ll be getting one of these for the M3.

it's lucky I only wear lipstick around the house.

Not that I or my dog wear lipstick however it could be any other lipstick shaped item I guess.

Better be careful if you're eating jaffas in the car too.

@dronus did you post earlier about the long range not being lfp? So only 80% charge?

Just procrastinating after lunch and I just spotted these on AliExpress. They would clip over the 18" alloy wheel and protect it. I have the turbine knockoffs on my car and they've saved the alloys underneath at least three times.

Unless you're planning to drive more than 300km a day, most days - or can't charge at home - then charging it only to 80% most of the time doesn't affect anything in the slightest. I only charge my LR to 70% and it's a rare day that it finishes under 50%.

You can still charge it all the way to 100% if you need that extra range for a road trip.

Yeah, you’re right and I really want the faster acceleration because child

I think it is guaranteed to be honest, by Saturday morning. Assuming all my assumptions and guesswork are correct.

And I wanted the lfp battery because child sleeps above the garage....
